### 1/5 — Used to work-6 yrs ago

*2025-08-18*

This app was nice when I used it 2019. Now it won’t even load. So I got rid of it-cuz it doesn’t even work!

### 1/5 — No images no support.

*2023-06-20*

Paid for the subscription. Images didn’t show up at all in the app. Emailed for help. No response. Now the subscription has expired.

### 1/5 — No pictures

*2023-03-17, version 2.0.2*

I’ve paid for a year and no images can be seen. No response when I messaged either.

### 1/5 — Trash

*2022-11-18*

Images do not work even if you pay the subscription, doesn’t support multi-device either

### 1/5 — Dissatisfied

*2022-07-07, version 2.0.2*

I have just paid year’s subscription and payment gone  through but no images seen!!!
Why? That was the main reason for my purchase. 
Got no response on contact.

### 4/5 — Good images, lacking some

*2022-06-02*

Has great explanations and labeled images. It’s lacking optic nerve info (no ONH drusen, papilledema, glaucoma, disc neo). 
Also the app didn’t work initially and I had to uninstall and reinstall the it to get the images to appear.

### 1/5 — Embarrassing Software

*2022-03-26*

I subscribed and paid the $4.99 but none of the OCT images appear. Absolute waste and joke of an app

### 2/5 — No Support & Unfair Device Limitations

*2020-09-27*

I just downloaded Octavia on my iPhone, but right afterwards, I realized it would be better on my iPad Pro, taking advantage of the larger screen and better graphics. The app doesn’t appear to allow you to use it on multiple devices, stingy on the part of the developer. So, I uninstalled it from my phone, and tried to download it onto my iPad Pro. That didn’t work. They still wanted another $4.99.

I contacted Octavia support three times in the last month, no answer. What gives?
 I plan to cancel the yearly renewal. Nice idea, but poor support, and unfair that they don’t warn you that they won’t let you use it on more than one device, unless you buy another subscription.

### 5/5 — Fantastic resource

*2019-04-22*

It’s great having examples of so many pathologies available for review at any time. Thanks for putting this together!

### 5/5 — Great Resource

*2019-04-15*

A very helpful reference for the clinic. Kudos to the author.
